M&M Christmas Cookies
This year has been a very odd year. With the pandemic keeping us locked in and the crazy election stuff . I think we are all ready to put it all behind us and go into the Holidays with an optimistic attitude for a cheerful Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'm starting to make my cookies and candies, I think these are my favorites. However, I probably said the same about Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies and Cherry Kissmas (Christmas) Cookies.
Can You Make These Cookies Ahead Of Time ?
Absolutely they can be stored in air tight containers at room temperature for several days. However, these cookies could also be frozen. After they are baked they can be put in air tight containers or in freezer bags. Another great way is to freeze the cookie dough before baking it and thaw as needed.
